@rafamarcondes.bsky.socialReposted by @kostchristian.bsky.socialAnyone read this book yet? How are the early reviews?
@kostchristian.bsky.socialI can strongly recommend Jeremy as a clever and caring supervisor and mentor. Join his lab when you are interested in computationally modelling interesting eco-evolutionary questions. 👇

@andrejpaleo.bsky.socialReposted by @kostchristian.bsky.socialDynamical [chemical] systems view on the emergence of heredity in evolution:
"This paper proposes that early chemical systems could preserve and pass on differences through stable chemical states rather than through stored sequences like DNA or RNA"

@kostchristian.bsky.socialReminds me of ...
@pdixit.bsky.socialReposted by @kostchristian.bsky.social1/ Our new paper is out in PRX Life. Physicists' often treat microbiomes as disordered systems with coexistence in very high-dimensional niche spaces. We asked whether empirical data supports this picture, and found the data point somewhere else: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
@berasymbionts.bsky.socialReposted by @kostchristian.bsky.socialOur review is now online! Led by @soobinshin.bsky.social, we dig into the secondary metabolites shaping insect-fungus symbioses, from mutualists to parasites, and how they drive host specificity, behaviour & immunity 🐛🪲🍄🍄🟫 @thesainsburylab.bsky.social
@paduba.bsky.socialReposted by @kostchristian.bsky.socialHappy to share our latest work digging a bit more into what makes the the core microbiota of photosynthetic organisms convergent (or not!). Work performed @lipme-toulouse.bsky.social @cnrs.fr, in collaboration with @guan06rui.bsky.social @quadraminstitute.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3e958dt6 (1/10)

@zaminiqbal.bsky.socialReposted by @kostchristian.bsky.socialA chance to do a PhD on plasmid copy number with the excellent @wtmatlock.bsky.social , highly recommended! Combines genomics and experimental evolution with Tiff Taylor (whose bsky id I can't seem to find, apols)
@kostchristian.bsky.socialThe title just says they test it without implying support of the idea.
